Let’s face it, July has been a sweaty sticky month and frozen desserts are just NOT an option! This recipe’s inspiration comes from one of our favorite chef in Montreal, . We all know he’s super talented but boy his he sexy in person! We both had the chance to meet him at different occasions and he’s so charming and truly genuine.

My sister had a chance to grab a signed copy of his cookbook at a little while ago and we decided to draw inspiration from his strawberry shortcake recipe using his delicious genoise.

If you have a chance, make sure to visit his !
